Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part Ii. - Xlv - Laud Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDDCPrejudged by foes determined not to spare | A |
An old weak Man for vengeance thrown aside | B |
Laud in the painful art of dying tried | B |
Like a poor bird entangled in a snare | A |
Whose heart still flutters though his wings forbear | A |
To stir in useless struggle hath relied | B |
On hope that conscious innocence supplied | B |
And in his prison breathes celestial air | A |
Why tarries then thy chariot Wherefore stay | C |
O Death the ensanguined yet triumphant wheels | D |
Which thou prepar'st full often to convey | C |
What time a State with madding faction reels | D |
The Saint or Patriot to the world that heals | D |
All wounds all perturbations doth allay | C |
William Wordsworth
